This hole in the wall Taiwanese food is so surprised ? and authentic, no joke it’s authentic! And good! If you know what’s Taiwanese food is then you’ll so happy you tried them food ! ! Even if you’re in Taiwan you can’t find food this good often. We had large intestine, stinky tofu , oyster omelette, smoked pork tongue, braised pork rice and braised beef noodle. As an authentic Asian I have to say all of them ~so authentic and satisfied. Especially the large intestine is so tender and no stinky flavor at all! which is so enjoyable! So amazing!? order at here 2 times, the food always satisfied, you have to go and try. By the way the chef ?? (he is the owner) he was an engineer when he was in Taiwan. And his red sauce is also really good ?.
This place has the best taiwan food in torrance. I tried the pork belly rice, rice noodle with fish and fried tofu. They were delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who are craving for taiwan food.

Bomb af, authentic, and affordable Taiwanese food. Owners are super sweet too! Got the braised pork belly, pork blood sausage rice, and fried tofu. Highly recommend getting the pork blood rice and the fried tofu.

As a Taiwanese person, this is by far the most authentic Taiwanese food I've ever had in America!!This hidden gem with an unassuming exterior serves such delicious and fresh food. A literal mom and pop establishment with the nicest owners, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Catherine is super friendly and will make you feel at home, and Chef Kevin really knows the flavors of Taiwan and faithfully recreates them. One example is the Oyster Omelet - here its got the starch that so many other Taiwanese restaurants in America skip, tastes just like you got it from a night market in Taipei.Everything we've had here is amazing, from the perfectly spiced braised pork rice to the MUST order fried tofu. The sauces are all made in house and are so flavorful, and unlike other restaurants that rely on MSG to flavor all their foods such that all the dishes end up tasting the same, this restaurant uses no MSG!!If you've never had Taiwanese food, come here and give it a try and see why Taiwan is voted as one of the best places to travel for food. If you've had Taiwanese food before, come here and satisfy your craving with the real deal.

This is definitely an authentic Taiwanese mom and pop shop! It's a hole in a wall kind of vibe. The inside looks like a fast food set up and a bit old design. This place has been around 11 years or so and it's run by a friendly old couple. Her plants are quite amazing though. I'd ordered braised pork rice, story fry noodles, bamboo shoots, and their famous secret tofu dish. I definitely like their fried tofu. It's crispy fried tofu on the outside and silken tofu in the inside topped with a sweet and savory sauce. I also like the braised pork rice as that's a classic dish. The prices are pretty affordable. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!
Authentic taiwanese food. My favorite is the fried tofu and the sticky rice. Everything I've had here is delicious.

Saw this spot on Yelp. I'm super far from it but decided to make the drive since I was heading South Bay anyway. Anyway it's a random spot in a corner. Kinda tricky to park, thankfully we sawOne on the street right in front. I went during the week around 1pm. The restaurant had one group inside but the parking lot is like super busy? Upon entering, we were greeted by the owner who is super sweet. We ordered 3 things.. I wanted to order the duck but it had to be pre-ordered bummer. Anyway I don't even normally eat pork blood in my country of ethnicity.. but recently I have been open for it. I had the pork black rice cake and oh gee it's insanely good!!! The tofu was fantastic and same with the pork belly bao. I loved all of them and even the iced tea. Will definitely try their duck and order it ahead of time and pick it up. The place is pretty small, nice vibe and clean. Don't let the outside fool you. Great food! No MSG! Tastes good!

Unexpectedly, there are authentic Taiwanese restaurant in Torrance, the owners are very friendly, the food is tasty. I wish they can add Taiwanese fried tempura(炸甜不辣) on the menu in the future please
